| Abstract: | Background: Recent papers suggest that finger joints with positive synovial vascularity (SV) assessed by ultrasonography under clinical low disease activity (CLDA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients may cause joint space narrowing (JSN) progression. Purpose: To investigate the performance of a computer-based method by directly comparing with the conventional scoring method in terms of the detectability of JSN progression in hand radiography of RA patients with CLDA. Material and Methods: Fifteen RA patients (13 women, 2 men) with long-term sustained CLDA of > 2 years were included. Radiological progression of finger joints was measured or scored using the computer-based method which can detect JSN progression between two radiographic images as the joint space difference index (JSDI), as well as the Genant-modified Sharp score (GSS). We also quantitatively assessed SV of these joints using ultrasonography. Results: Out of 270 joints, we targeted 259 finger joints after excluding nine damaged joints (four ankylosis, three complete luxation, and two subluxation) and two improved joints according to the GSS results. The JSDI of finger joints with JSN progression was significantly higher than those without JSN progression (P = 0.018). The JSDI of finger joints with ultrasonographic SV was significantly higher than those without ultrasonographic SV (P = 0.004). Progression in JSDI showed stronger associations with ultrasonographic SV than progression in GSS (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 7.19 [3.37-15.36] versus 5.84 [2.76-12.33]). Conclusion: The computer-based method was comparable to the conventional scoring method regarding the detectability of JSN progression in RA patients with CLDA. |
